Moving to Hull in the summer for Uni, first time renter, advice needed please.....

Moving to Hull in the summer, first time renter, postgraduate degree at Hull Uni, not sure whether I'll have a job when I arrive (I have one at the moment but may need to finish if I can't get a transfer), can I pay landlord 3 months rent in advance with my student loan like I do in the Halls of Residence at my current Uni? I can then budget the rest of my money for bills etc. If I definitely do not have a job when I arrive will that discriminate me in any way? Will landlords only let to people who are working? As much help needed as poss please....

Don't worry, there are options. Different agents vary, so I suggest calling a few of your local agents to get yourself registered and find out what their policies are. Our agency would need to take 6 months up front rather than 3 months unless you have a UK based guarantor who earns 36 times the monthly rent. For example, if the rent is £1000 per month, the gaurantor needs to be earning at least £36'000. I hope that makes sense and good luck in your search.
